bluefox9er Posted 29 November 2009 Posted 29 November 2009 Sorry, but I am devestated that we gave up 2 points against S****horpe. I suppose Robbie Savage was right after all about us being decidedly ordinary...surley a jammy jammy HOME win against plymouth and then dropping 2 points away to teams like s****horpe isn't the form of a team with serious ability or intentions to escape this quick-sand like division. we also failed miserably in the real acid tests against Newcasel and West Brom, and whilst it's no bad thing being in 3rd place, I have to confess I was rather quick to see the world in blue colured specs..we are a seriously ordinary side incapable of putting games out of peoples reach without breaking any sweat and way too goal shy to be taken seriously...but that said, we should really be realistic aout our objectives, and that is to finish in the middle 3rd of the division, which I am certain we can achieve. we wern't aiming for automatic promo anyways. accepting mediocre shows like yesterdayas acceptable, we are going to be here for a very very long time. Unless we get a decent goal scorer, all the 'we nearly won' counts for absloutley nothing, and not winning against teams like S****horpe is a clear sign that we are at our comfort level in terms of skill, ability and desire to win. This game so clearly highlighted all the reasons blue coloured glasses hide as to exactly *why* we won't get promotion any time soon .
grth2004 Posted 29 November 2009 Posted 29 November 2009 i thought i was bad at spelling but that was terrible. ohh and complete load of bollocks. have you been drinking or something???
Stuliasz Posted 29 November 2009 Posted 29 November 2009 I can't believe people are moaning because we might not get promotion in the season we came up from League One. Un-fooking-believeable.
Ultra Posted 29 November 2009 Posted 29 November 2009 Disappointing though yesterday was, at least we came away from Glanford Park with one more point than the league leaders managed. There's no excuse for the treachery implied in the thread title.
Tommeh Posted 29 November 2009 Posted 29 November 2009 We drew with Sc unthorpe last home game of last season, was that Devastating aswell?
filbertway Posted 29 November 2009 Posted 29 November 2009 I've always said I'll be happy with top 10 this season, we're bound to have good spells and bad spells, like most teams. Just some of our fans seem deluded into thinking we should win every game irrespective of who were playing and their form.

What makes you think any of those teams are sufficiently better equipped to finish above us in the top third of this division. We don't have to be better than Premier League teams to finish in the top 3rd just better than 16 others. PS Cardiff lost at home to Ipswich 2-1 today what does that make them? Only so many teams can fit in the bottom third!

Newcastle lost at S****horpe so they have no chance of going up then
Guest Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 Can't we just have an over-reaction sub-section of the forum for this kinda drivel?
Fox You Forest Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 Knee jerk? Tell him what he's won Roy.
z-layrex Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 I do agree with you OP, but we only came up from div 1 last season, it's going to take time to go from a shit team to a decent one again, but it's getting there. I think we will lose more games and wont win the play offs, but it will get there eventually.
Ozwin Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 I didn't realise we had become Barcelona overnight.
Lillehamring Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 and while were at it.... before you start blithering on about "teams like S****horpe", why don't you actually take a look at them before you open your mouth, they have taken 14 points from 9 games at home, we have taken 17.... and they have taken 11 from the last 6 at home (including against us), compared to our 8... get a grip...

Scored early, put pressure on the home side. Got promoted last season with two other teams, take a look where they are. Look at the players and options the two teams above us have and the money they have spent. Took the points last week last minute, this week was karma perhaps. Perspective. Get some. N.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 At the start of the season, If someone said to me going into December we would be third. I would of probably swore at the bloke. The thing that people are taking for granted is the fact we can't win every game, and so many time Leicester have blown a lead, e.g. Watford. I can understand the feeling, but my pre-season expectations were for us to be mid-table. So I'm happy, Forget this slip up, and all get behind the lad's for next weeks game at Forest.

We played them off the park and scored in the last minute to get the three points we deserved. It may not have been a corner but still the ref cocked up more majorly than that through the course of the game. It doesn't matter how or when you score as long as you score more than you concede which the stats clear show we are doing. It was hardly a mediocre show on saturday either. I didn't go (due to money it was a choice between scunny or forest) but watching the highlights if their keeper hadn't been on top form we could have had 3 or 4. Anyway savage is wrong because in a division like this you don't get anywhere without deserving to be there. He may look at our team and think our team as a whole isn't very good but then he can hardly talk if their captain and one of their first choice strikers are both rejects of theis supposedly inferior club.
marbelladave Posted 30 November 2009 Posted 30 November 2009 Some interesting views. I sometimes (often?... ) get given a hard time when I criticise the way we play but that is just me wanting us to play the best we can everytime we step onto the pitch! My views can be summarised as follows. 1) Before the season I was hoping for a finish in the top half but would be satisfied anywhere in mid table, I think most people would have gone along with that. 2) After a month or so it became apparent that we were actually quite competitive so naturally I revised my expectations upward to the possibility of a getting into the playoffs. Were we to do that that would be a fine achievement. 3) A few weeks and a few wins later some people were talking about automatic promotion, nonsense in my view. I remain of the opinion that a playoff spot would represent a very good season. 4) I am in awe of the way Pearson has turned around our fortunes and totally revitalised the playing side of the club. A genuinely excellent achievement. He has brought in reinforcement at modest cost and built a strong well motivated squad, our position in the league is testament to that. 5) I remain somewhat less impressed with some of our performances on the pitch. In several games this season we have had spells where we have played clean, concise football that would trouble any team in this league, the first half displays at Newcastle and Watford come immediately to mind. However in many other games we have resorted to a very direct attacking style that has consistently failed to produce enough decent chances to score. Fryatt's return of 9 goals is exceptional in the circumstances. Errrr..... That's it. I am very pleased with what we have achieved so far this season but remain disappointed that we have, all too often, failed to play to the standard set in the games mentioned above. I put this down to Pearson's innate, conservative approach and his reliance on the direct, long ball game. My hope is that as the season develops he will become more confident and move towards a more creative, expansive style of play. As for Robbie Savage I have never had any issues with him at all. As a player, I love his character and all the pantomime nonsense that surrounds him, I find him great value. As a pundit, he seems to be toeing the BBC line, set by Mark Lawrenson in particular, that Leicester are a 'nothing' club, easily dismissed as serial non-achievers. Given that Savages best years were at Leicester, I think that is a shame.
